Talk about a woman who knows what she wants. In just five minutes Rihanna picked out toys, handcuffs, scented candles and lingerie. And later she was spotted holding one of her purchases; a book by Ellen Von Unwerth that's full of graphic photos. "She knew exactly what she was after and didn't want any assistance picking out items," a source told the paper. "There was no dithering. She was grinning from ear to ear and seemed to be in a hurry to get back to her hotel." (Huffington Post)

This is hardly the first time Rihanna has been spotted in a sex shop. In March, she was seen outside adult store The Tool Shed in Sydney, Australia, as two bags worth of purchases were loaded into her car. While in Paris in May, Rihanna was friendly to fans as she shopped for a vibrator at the adult store Toys Me. (New York Post)

The diva is back with her new single S&M - and the video is so steamy, it's already been banned from 11 countries and counting. The vid features 22-year-old RiRi, writhing around in white latex ("with lube", she says), sucking a banana ("I made 'em give me a spit bucket in between takes"), wearing bondage gear and simulates sex with a lifesize doll. And the words to the song are just as dirty as the images. "Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it," she sings. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me." Oo-er! Southern Asian countries immediately banned it. (Mirror)
